Dreamed about having hip x-rays which revealed nothing abnormal.  Labrum tears are another horror story from running lore.

The trick with the current bull market is it's driven by the Dave Ramsey movement, the end of pension funds, retirement accounts pouring money into index funds, 20 years of negative interest rates driving a fear of treasuries.  Long ago, they said baby boomers would suck the stonk market dry when they drew down their retirement accounts.  That didn't happen.

The wall takes another 2.

While chopping up the file dialog for previews, the lion kingdom started seriously considering getting rid of all or most margins.  The prime candidates are the window margins.  The margins between widgets are still important for usability but getting rid of the window margins would be in line with the goal of a minimal interface.  It probably requires going back to a separate window border & widget border, as existed originally.

Most software these days is web apps & phone apps.  The big social networks all leave gobs of empty space in the window margins.  Phone apps also leave gobs of empty margins.

Lions don't have mac os anymore, but there are screenshots of the finder preview & ways to run down to the apple store.  It's almost a full photo editor & constantly growing.  The rotate button is a big deal.  The favorites, tags, locations are all failures but the preview is the 1 thing they got right.  It's only part of the finder rather than something every program implements.  Suspect the finder has an obligation to have a more functional preview.

Being able to resize the preview is necessary for a useful media player.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
